Now that they have the right to use the witch''s property, cheese and Roland no longer have to live in hotels. When the old man went to the chariot, cheese had come to this place alone, near the property built in Wangdu port area. Wangdu itself is not adjacent to the sea. The so-called port area is only a symbolic name. But even so, there was a river running through the southeast corner of the capital. This river is the diversion of Longxue river. In addition to other water systems along the way, it has become a fast way for Wangdu waterway transportation with a relatively gentle and stable flow. The house the witches agreed to use was on the East Bank of the river.

    Riding across the small bridge connecting the two sides of the river, cheese noticed that, in addition to the seemingly old bridge, it was necessary to rely on ferries on the water to cross the river. The bridge at the foot is enough for two or three people to walk side by side, but I''m afraid it only needs an ordinary carriage running on it to completely block the bridge. In other words, as long as the bridge is blocked, the whole East Bank of the river will be isolated.

    The mage frowned. Such a place can be regarded as remote even in the whole royal capital. The East Bank of the river is full of warehouses or temporary parking places, so few people will really settle down here. You know, there isn''t even a food shop nearby. The only store that can be counted as commercial activities has to cross this bridge first. I''m afraid that once night falls, there won''t be a few people on the whole East Coast. The witch set this place as a backup site for her, which can save a lot of energy to cover up her whereabouts.

    Through the bridge between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, the dress of cheese is very conspicuous in this place, which is either a merchant or a boatman. In order not to get into unnecessary trouble, the mage had to release a magic similar to psychological suggestion to the people around him, so that they did not realize that a strange man with a horse was walking by him.

    "This is it?" With a piece of paper with the address on it, cheese arrived at the center of the east bank after seven turns. This is a house surrounded by warehouses. In fact, there are so many warehouses outside. If you don''t have the intention to look for it, ordinary people will probably ignore the path leading to this house.

    It''s a great place, cheese thinks. Following the path through the narrow gap between the warehouses, a low building appeared in front of the mage. It''s not right to say it''s low. After all, judging from the number of windows, the building still has two floors, but maybe it doesn''t use the traditional spire. The flat roof makes the house feel not tall. And this architectural style is likely to be confused with the surrounding warehouses from a high point of view.

    Naturally, such a house will not have external wall protection, or the surrounding warehouse is the best exterior wall of the building. Cheese took a huge iron key from his arms and went to the door. What is puzzling, however, is that there is no keyhole or other external lock on the door. Cheese looked at the heavy wooden door decorated with dazzling patterns and recalled how the witches told him to enter the door. He tapped the top of the key on different positions of the wooden door according to certain rules. If someone keeps the position that has been knocked by cheese alone and then removes other unnecessary patterns on the door, he will see a strange closed pattern, which gradually becomes clear with the mage''s knocking.

    "Ga..." After thirteen keystrokes with the cheese, the door makes a dull sound and opens a gap of its own. Judging from the dust that fell as the door opened, the witches certainly didn''t have the habit of cleaning their houses regularly. After putting away the key, cheese pushed the heavy wooden door open with both hands. At the same time, he realized that if he wanted to stay here longer, it would be necessary to apply a little lubricating oil to the shaft of the door.

    "Keke" has covered his mouth and nose with his sleeve, but cheese is still coughed by the dust accumulated in the house for a long time. According to Correnti, although she had always known the existence of the house, she had not been here since she was born, and she did not know why the building, which had been abandoned for nearly 20 years, had no natural damage.

    Walking into the porch, cheese can feel something else in the house besides dust. Magic comes from witches. The magic comes from the seemingly inadvertent damage on the walls or the placement of certain objects. This kind of power can not only protect the building itself from being damaged by natural rain, but also can have the effect of anti-theft. Cheese can guarantee that if he doesn''t enter the house in the right way, the mage''s situation at this time is definitely not only coughing because of dust, but also can be OK.

    With a wave of his hand, the invisible power turned into a gust of wind, driving all the dust in the air, on the ground and on the furniture to one place. The dust in the porch piled up and turned into a dirty ball the size of a human head. After clearing the dust, the furniture in the middle of the room looks much brighter. He reached out and picked up the oil lamp hanging on the wall. The cheese noticed that the oil in the lamp had not completely dried up and did not know what kind of grease was used.

    He lit the oil lamp with his flint, and the mage carried it along the porch. After a turn, the narrow corridor came to an end. On both sides of the corridor were two doors, and in front of it were upward stairs. Without hesitation, the mage opened the door on the right side, which was a spacious living room.Stepping into it, cheese went straight to a corner of the living room, where there was a strange stone statue that looked like an animal huddled together. From the head of the statue, it is likely that the animal depicted in the statue is a strange totem mixed with bat and wolf. However, cheese learned from the magic breath on the stone statue that it was actually the core of the house.

    Once again, he took out the huge key for opening the door. Cheese inserted the key into the statue''s open mouth with her left hand with the witch ring. As the key was completely inserted into the statue''s long mouth, cheese felt a slight suction coming from the hand holding the key. The mage then let go of the restrictions on magic and let the statue absorb some magic power from himself. The power absorbed is not much, even if the ordinary people are taken away, the energy will only make their heads dizzy.

    After the cheese infused magic into the statue, the stone eyes of the statue moved strangely. There was not much surprise on cheese''s face when he let go of the key and let it be swallowed by the statue.

    "Hello, dear master. For the first time, welcome back. " Although there was no oral movement, there was a dull sound coming from the inside of the statue.

    "Your name." Said the mage.

    "You may call me fergen. I am the keeper and housekeeper of the house." The statue replied.

    "Tell me what''s in this house." Cheese went to the sofa in the living room and sat down. He said to the statue who called himself fergen.

    After a brief silence, fergen began to report in another language about the sorceress''s phalanx in the house. This language is the internal language of witches. Even ordinary casters have never heard of this ancient and rarely used language. After all, the age of witches has long passed. The reason why fergen reports in this language is obviously to prevent short-term users like cheese from changing the array running in the building.

    Unfortunately, for cheese, although it needs a brief recollection of the content of this language, the master who has been educated in the grey tower does have the ability to use this language. Cheese picked out a few arrays for monitoring or similar functions, and told fergen to stop their operations. Even if they were allies with witches, the mage would not be stupid enough to live under the surveillance of the other party. As for whether fergen will follow the orders of cheese, for his low-level creation, he does not have the ability to distinguish the person who gives orders.

    Having solved the surveillance in the house, cheese has now finally determined that the building can be temporarily used by himself. In this case, contacting the grey tower is what the mage must do next.
